Poetry
Fully revamped and expanded, this second edition offers a complete introduction to the art and craft of writing poetry. Mapping out 38 foundational elements of poetry including image, line, point of view, metaphor, movement, and music, authors Amorak Huey and W. Todd Kaneko use these elements as starting points for discussion questions and writing prompts.
The book guides readers through a range of poetic modes and styles such as:
- Elegies and Odes
- Found poems
- Aubades and Nocturnes
- Documentary and Protest poems
- Ars Poetica
- Lyric and Narrative poems
- Personas and Portraits
With a focus on contemporary poems, the anthology features a truly diverse and global line-up of poets and poems to illustrate the elements and craft discussed in the book. Featuring all-new chapters on traditional poetic forms, prosody, writing poems that engage the current moment, and the value and ethics of imitation, this is the ultimate companion to studying and practising the craft of poetry.
Poetry by Dr Amorak Huey and W. Todd Kaneko offers insights and practical guidance for both emerging and experienced poets alike.
